Reaction Steps

Synthesis of compounds ERW1041A, B, C, D, E, and 1069 were synthesized using the methods of Choi et al. Chemistry & Biology, Volume 12, Issue 4, Pages 469-475, except the amino-acid amines are protected by a quinoline-containing carbamate. This quinoline-containing carbamate is synthesized by reducing 3-quinolylcarbaldehyde with sodium borohydride in THF followed by an aqueous workup and flash chromatography yielding 3-quinolylcarbinol. para-Nitro-phenylchloroformate is reacted with 3-quinolylcarbinol in methylene chloride and N-methyl morpholine to give a carbonate of 3-quinoline methanol and para-Nitro-phenol. After purification by flash chromatography, this carbonate is reacted with the methyl ester of the amino acid in neat DMF to give the named compounds.
